We were off to the grocery store tonight to stock up on supplies for our forthcoming visitors. The grocery store is always good for few laughs, which makes it a little less sad to be spending a Friday night buying foodstuffs. It's always a reminder that no matter how similar the life in the UK seems to the States or Canada, it is ... different.
Being Dutch, I'm all for bread and the various things you can put on it, but this is a little ridiculous. I would love to have been in the meeting when someone first pitched the idea of Sardine and Tomato Paste spread. Why did no one in the room choose that moment to kill this idea? And who bit into a thick layer of beef spread on their morning toast and thought, "You know what, this could use some chicken"?
We carefully examined the Mushroom and Bacon toast toppers. Second ingredient was actually mushroom, which makes me wonder why they don't include the label "All Natural" on the top.

It looks like you're meant to eat the sardine and tomato paste with a bit of bocconcini and some pesto on a bun. In the pannini press it might taste ok...
But I'm guessing these products are all for the minimal-cooking-please types.
